Pull more thermal managament updates from Zhang Rui:
 "Specifics:

   - Exynos thermal driver refactoring.  Several cleanups, code
     optimization, unused symbols removal, and unused feature removal in
     Exynos thermal driver.  Thanks Lukasz for this effort.

   - Exynos thermal driver support to OF thermal.  After the code
     refactoring, the driver earned the support to OF thermal.  Chip
     thermal data were moved from driver code to DTS, reducing the code
     footprint.  Thanks Lukasz for this.

   - After receiving the OF thermal support, the exynos thermal driver
     now must allow modular build.  Thanks Arnd for detecting, reporting
     and fixing this.

   - Exynos thermal driver support to Exynos 7 SoC.  Thanks Abhilash for
     this.

   - Accurate temperature reporting on Rockchip thermal driver, thanks
     to Caesar.

   - Fix on how OF thermal enables its zones, thanks Lukasz for fixing.

   - Fixes in OF thermal examples under Documentation/.  Thanks Srinivas
     for fixing"

<content type='text'>
The exynos cpufreq driver code recently gained a dependency on the
cooling code, which may be a loadable module. This breaks an ARM
allmodconfig build:

drivers/built-in.o: In function `exynos_cpufreq_probe':
:(.text+0x1748e8): undefined reference to `of_cpufreq_cooling_register'

To avoid this problem, change cpufreq Kconfig to allow the drivers
to be loadable modules as well and enforce a dependency on the
thermal module.

This change, in order to allow module builds on this cpufreq
driver, properly constructs the driver into a single module,
instead of several modules. The change also keeps the proper
platform dependency, and therefore, it wont load in platforms
that are not supposed to be loaded. The user will be able to
build the support for all platforms, or select which platforms
(s)he wants (as originally), except that now it can be a module,
instead.

Besides, it will still keep the driver only on those configs
that expect it to be on. And it won't compile/load on platforms
that it is not supposed to. It brings the config ARM_EXYNOS_CPU_FREQ_BOOST_SW
closer to this driver, so it looks better in the menuconfig.

We intentionally change ARM_EXYNOS5440_CPUFREQ to be tristate too, to
avoid future troubles.

The naming convention of this driver was always under the scanner, people
complained that it should have a more generic name than cpu0, as it manages all
CPUs that are sharing clock lines.

Also, in future it will be modified to support any number of clusters with
separate clock/voltage lines.

Lets rename it to 'cpufreq_dt' from 'cpufreq_cpu0'.

CPUFreq specific helper functions for OPP (Operating Performance Points)
now use generic OPP functions that allow CPUFreq to be be moved back
into CPUFreq framework. This allows for independent modifications
or future enhancements as needed isolated to just CPUFreq framework
alone.

Here, we just move relevant code and documentation to make this part of

<id>b3d627a5f2bf1a9a486f65af6f7c2ce0e09b3d12</id>
<content type='text'>
Backend driver to dynamically set voltage and frequency on
IBM POWER non-virtualized platforms.  Power management SPRs
are used to set the required PState.

This driver works in conjunction with cpufreq governors
like 'ondemand' to provide a demand based frequency and
voltage setting on IBM POWER non-virtualized platforms.

PState table is obtained from OPAL v3 firmware through device
tree.

powernv_cpufreq back-end driver would parse the relevant device-tree
nodes and initialise the cpufreq subsystem on powernv platform.

The code was originally written by svaidy@linux.vnet.ibm.com. Over
time it was modified to accomodate bug-fixes as well as updates to the
the cpu-freq core. Relevant portions of the change logs corresponding
to those modifications are noted below:

 * The policy-&gt;cpus needs to be populated in a hotplug-invariant
   manner instead of using cpu_sibling_mask() which varies with
   cpu-hotplug. This is because the cpufreq core code copies this
   content into policy-&gt;related_cpus mask which should not vary on
   cpu-hotplug. [Authored by srivatsa.bhat@linux.vnet.ibm.com]

 * Create a helper routine that can return the cpu-frequency for the
   corresponding pstate_id. Also, cache the values of the pstate_max,
   pstate_min and pstate_nominal and nr_pstates in a static structure
   so that they can be reused in the future to perform any
   validations. [Authored by ego@linux.vnet.ibm.com]

 * Create a driver attribute named cpuinfo_nominal_freq which creates

Backend driver to dynamically set voltage and frequency on
IBM POWER non-virtualized platforms.  Power management SPRs
are used to set the required PState.

This driver works in conjunction with cpufreq governors
like 'ondemand' to provide a demand based frequency and
voltage setting on IBM POWER non-virtualized platforms.

PState table is obtained from OPAL v3 firmware through device
tree.

powernv_cpufreq back-end driver would parse the relevant device-tree
nodes and initialise the cpufreq subsystem on powernv platform.

The code was originally written by svaidy@linux.vnet.ibm.com. Over
time it was modified to accomodate bug-fixes as well as updates to the
the cpu-freq core. Relevant portions of the change logs corresponding
to those modifications are noted below:

 * The policy-&gt;cpus needs to be populated in a hotplug-invariant
   manner instead of using cpu_sibling_mask() which varies with
   cpu-hotplug. This is because the cpufreq core code copies this
   content into policy-&gt;related_cpus mask which should not vary on
   cpu-hotplug. [Authored by srivatsa.bhat@linux.vnet.ibm.com]

 * Create a helper routine that can return the cpu-frequency for the
   corresponding pstate_id. Also, cache the values of the pstate_max,
   pstate_min and pstate_nominal and nr_pstates in a static structure
   so that they can be reused in the future to perform any
   validations. [Authored by ego@linux.vnet.ibm.com]

 * Create a driver attribute named cpuinfo_nominal_freq which creates
   a sysfs read-only file named cpuinfo_nominal_freq. Export the
   frequency corresponding to the nominal_pstate through this
   interface.
